Common Pediatric (American) Football-related Extremity Injuries: What the Radiologist Needs to Know

Purpose or Case Report:

According to the current statistics, approximately 1 million children aged 6-14 participated in 11-payer football, more popular as youth football, in the 2021-2022 school year (3). A trend to earlier participation in specialized sports activities in pediatric patients has been observed. Contact sports such as basketball, football, and soccer comprise a considerable proportion of all played sports and are associated with the highest number of injuries, both acute and chronic in nature(9).
Lower extremities are the most common site of injury in pediatric football players, followed by upper extremity. Fractures and sprains/strains are the most common injury patterns (1, 9, 10). With the increasing number of young football athletes, there is a greater need to explore football-associated injuries, which can have a considerable physical, emotional, and psychosocial impact on a young individual.
This educational exhibit aims to explore the most common American football-related pediatric extremity injuries and their imaging characteristics using various modalities and briefly discuss the treatment options for the pediatric population.
Methods & Materials:

Our educational exhibit aims to allow Pediatric Radiologists to:
1- Learn the most commonly encountered extremity injuries in the pediatric population in American football.
2- Evaluate the most common injuries in American football based on age criteria.
3- Review optimal imaging modalities and approaches.
4- Discuss imaging characteristics of various osseous injuries associated with American football.
5- Assess the sensitivity and specificity of radiographs as a screening tool in evaluating American football-related pediatric extremity injuries.
6- Understand the conventional and nuanced orthopedic treatment approach and potential complications for pediatric patients, including ACL reconstruction.
